Shalom Training Graduation 2013

Nearly every year since 2008, WorldHope Corps has sent a Mission Team to Malawi and/or Uganda to support our partners in their ministries of compassion, health and wholeness and community development. This year, four veteran members of WorldHope Corps-- Rev. Michele Robbins, Dr. Doug Smith, Dr. Caroline Njuki, and myself--will join Pastor Dennis Singini and his team in Malawi and Pastor Moses and his team in Uganda for 12 days of ministry together (Sept 25-Oct 7,
2017).

The theme this year is "Life More Abundant" in Time of AIDS" (John 10:10)

women to protect themselves and promote human dignity, economic sustainability
and “life more abundant” (Shalom) in the community. To help men and women, youth and children, step up to the next level of positive living and good success through Shalom Training in asset based community development ABCD)

More specifically, our work in Uganda is to help Pastor Justine (a local Shalom
leader) facilitate a Women's Empowerment Conference focused on
preventing domestic violence and abuse, HIV/AIDS education, and living healthy lives in the community.
Before and after the conference, we plan to present funds raised from sale of Uganda jewelry to the women’s group in
Jinja; meet with Pastor Moses and Shalom Coffee Coop board to encourage
progress; meet with Br. Julius and SARS representatives to encourage their
progress on the Fresh Water Store project in Western Uganda. (Sept 25-30).
